There have been several times while in this industry whenI really wished I didn't know what I know. In at least a dual role (editor and CEO), I find myself privy to information that should not be publicly disclosed, but is important enough for the future and integrity of the industry, that morally, it needs to be at least shared - in principle. Even if only to let others know what to watch for, the signs and signals of self-destructive behavior, in some cases, especially if we really do care about building a better industry, we have to at least tell part of the story.

FDA has announced a warning to consumers not to consume products marketed as supplements, said to contain steroid-like components. It's time, they would say, because most, if not all of these products contain the latest greatest designer compounds engineered specifically for performance enhancement and to 'mimic' the actions of steroids. If it acts like one, looks like on, smells like one...well, you get the point. And FDA has identified what the 'good' side of this industry has known for a long time - these are not supplements in any way shape or form.
